I have used this mascara for years as my waterproof standby. It is fantastic--it separates and defines perfectly. It does not lengthen, however, and my only other beef is that after extended use (a month or so continuously) it can be drying to your lashes. But otherwise, it is my favorite waterproof mascara. It washes off easily, and the color stays on through all the elements without flaking.

This is perfect for daytime. It's not too heavy, but defines lashes. It doesn't really have the "wow" factor, so I mainly use this when I'm going for a more casual or everyday look. Overall, this is a great, simple mascara that you can't beat for the price.

Before I was even an esthetician, I was constantly looking for a mascara that did not end up under my eyes - I also wear contact lenses. I was very impressed with Lancome Definicils - although pricey in my book. On a fluke, I tried the avon wash off. It is fabulous! It also comes in brown-black which is the color I use. I do use an eye makeup remover though, as I don't like to use soap in the...read more eye area. This is by far the best mascara I have ever used. When Avon runs their sale, you can get two tubes for $8.00 - can't beat that - and you can afford to throw away more often instead of keeping it past it's prime just because you paid alot for it. I still try others, but nothing gives you the bang for the buck like this one.

Let me tell you,this mascara is great! I live in the South.It's either hot as a firecracker or rainy and cold. This mascara stays on thru all the weather.It easily washes right off ,too. I just love it.
